Our expertise and experience in preparing planning submissions for large and small retail and mixed use proposals has helped us to secure permissions for many leading retailers and developers of town and district centres, superstores, retail parks and sub-regional shopping centres.

We are also experienced in advising on a broad range of leisure proposals, including hotels, golf courses, leisure villages and more urban-based projects such as multiplexes, pubs and bingo halls. We have also been involved in the promotion of both indoor and outdoor sports facilities.

Town Centre, Retail & Leisure Assessments

Both the public sector, in preparing plans, and the private sector, in generating and pursuing proposals, can be required to carry out various types of study.

These include:

• The need for further retail and leisure provision

• The sequential approach to site selection - establishing
  the appropriate approach and area of search and then
  evaluating the suitability of all potential options according
  to their relationship to established centres

• Estimating retail and leisure impact by examining
  the effect of new proposals on existing facilities

• Assessing the health of town, district and local centres
  against vitality and viability indicators and a SWOT
  analysis.
